#1 I have carried alot of things in my little plane, but I never carried plastic sheeting for building refugee camps. Maybe if I can fly politically sensitive, but high value cargo, I can afford an F-18 or a MIG larger plane.

#3 Does Al-Aska Paul Airways serve halal meals in-flight? You could score a quick $25 mill for flying Osama (or his remains) into Bagram. He prolly qualifies as "politically sensitive but high value cargo." It would be a fairly crowded flight, unfortunately. He's a tall turban...and his dialysis machine takes up a lot of room.

#5 Shipman---A twin Otter (DHC-3) would be definitely as step up from my 172P. I've got some hours in that aircraft. Binny could sit in the front of my C172, the back seat comes out for the dialysis machine, and all I need from him is a promise that he will behave and not play with the controls. Word of honor and all that. And BTW, I do have a mileage program. Heh heh.

#8 Re my #5 post, if Binny sat in front of my 172, he would be "pink misted" by the prop. I meant the front seat. Well, come to think of it, maybe pink misting is the way to go for him.
